SEEING GOOD IN ALL

to these imaginary creatures, which they believe to have
lived in the past, as "transitional forms."
If such animals had really existed, there should be
millions and even billions of them in number and variety.
More importantly, the remains of these strange creatures
should be present in the fossil record. In The Origin of Species,
Darwin explained:

If my theory be true, numberless intermediate varieties, linking
most closely all of the species of the same group together must
assuredly have existed... Consequently, evidence of their former
existence could be found only amongst fossil remains. 11

Darwin's Hopes Shattered

However, although evolutionists have been making
strenuous efforts to find fossils since the middle of the 19th
century all over the world, no transitional forms have yet
been uncovered. All the fossils unearthed in excavations
showed that, contrary to the expectations of evolutionists,
life appeared on earth all of a sudden and fully-formed.
A famous British paleontologist, Derek V. Ager, admits
this fact, even though he is an evolutionist:
The point emerges that if we examine the fossil rec,ord in detail,
whether at the level of orders or of species, we find - over and over
again - not gradual evolution, but the sudden explosion of one
group at the expense of another. 12

This means that in the fossil record, all living species
suddenly emerge as fully formed, without any intermediate
forms in between. This is just the opposite of Darwin's
assumptions. Also, it is very strong evidence that living
